    Fun, neat way to learn Christian catechism

    The main goal for our family is to hand down our Christian faith and heritage to our children. Of course, they won't automatically "be" Christians just because they are our children. They have to come to a point in their lives where they realize they need Christ as their personal Savior, and desire to love Him and serve Him.

    Using books like Big Truths for Little Kids will help enable this to happen in your own family!

    Designed for ages 4-10, your family will find the poignant stories and catechism-type questions that will help children easily begin to understand more about God and biblical truths. If you are concerned about your children having a biblical worldview, this book is an excellent tool to begin that kind of training in your home.

    I wish I'd had this book when my girls were quite a bit younger. Now that they are ages 12 and 14, this book is a little bit too simplistic for them, although the catechism questions are still very appropriate.

    How does this book work?

    Well, it's designed to be a long-term project with your family! You will not spend hours memorizing the catechism questions and answers, but this will happen over time, as a byproduct of using this book.

    Each time you sit down with your children to read from this book, you will read through one story and read through the questions and discuss the answers with your children.

    Each day, as you move to a different story, begin by reviewing the questions for story #1 or another previous section of the book. Then, ask each question in the new story, say the answer, and ask the child to recite the answer with you. Don't try to force your children to memorize the answers.

    Read the new story with your children, and read through the questions and answers for the new story.

    Each time you read from the book, memorize additional answers. The truths and applications will be reinforced, and your child's understanding will expand. Make this a special time with your children - and have fun!

    When you reach the "Let's Pray" section, read the verse, or let the child read it with you. Use the very words of Scripture in your prayer, and this will help show children that it's beneficial to pray using the language of Scripture as he or she prays.

    I recently received the book, Big Truths for Little Kids from the Crossway Homeschool Book Review Program, but it actually is not a new book to me at all. I read through this devotional book with my daughter several years ago and liked it so much that I bought two more by these authors: Discovering Jesus Through Genesis and Discovering Jesus Through Exodus.

    The purpose of this book is to teach children that they are created for God's glory, to help them apply this truth, and to teach children their need for God's grace. This is done through the continuing story of two children, Cassie and Caleb, and their daily life and interactions with others. Each of the 36 chapters begins with simplified questions and answers from the "First Catechism." Although it is recommended that the children memorize the answers, we just reviewed them without requiring memorization. A story follows, that reinforces the questions of the day. Finally, discussion questions and a prayer help the children to apply the truths to their lives.

    My daughter says, "This book makes it so much fun to study God's word!! I think that a lot of little kids would love this book and would be influenced by it!

    I would suggest this book for ages 4-10. The story is simple enough to be enjoyed by young children, but the theology is deep enough to engage and benefit much older children. The lessons taught are consistent with reformed theology.

    I received this book free from the Crossway Homeschool Book Review Program in order to write this review. All opinions are my own.

    I read this to my kids at night and they are so excited for our devotion time. I am the Director of Children's Ministries at our church and I will be giving this book as a gift to each of our parents for Christmas. It is a wonderful book to begin to encourage parents to have that devotional time at home each day. The beginning of theology and deep Biblical truths is so important. These are not basic, dumbed down stories. I love it!

    Here is a great book for the little ones. We desire for our youngest to know the truths of Scripture. This tool has helped us wonderfully.

    One of my favorite children's books for teaching biblical truths

    I love how simply and sweetly stories are told in a way that has a "lesson" for children and teaches a biblical truth. The author does a great job of finding scenarios and situations that children will relate to and help them understand theology. Good questions, verses, and catechism questions to help reinforce what is being taught for each chapter. Written from a Reformed Presbyterian interpretation of Scripture. We would be Reformed baptist, so there is one chapter on baptism we tweak, as well as rewording the section on tithing. Overall, it has been a helpful tool in our family and we love it!
